lood drive tiarvey wins
meets goal

seat on Lock Haven City Council

The university met its goal
for the Annua! Fall Blood
Drive on Nov. 8, sponsored by
the Resident Hall Association.
Of the 178 people who
took part in the drive, 138
pints of blood were successfully donated.
Wendy Walsh, Resident
Hall Director, stated that this
was one of the most difficult
drives.
"There was a glitch with
the online appointment system," said Walsh.
The system reported that
all available appointments
were taken and anyone who
had gone online to make an
appointment was told there
was no room.
In reality, only 56 spots
out of 135 were filled.
Walsh's worries about not
meeting the goal were eased
when Dave Senior and Josh
Bickford went around to the
different halls and buildings
on campus, asking people to
come down and donate.
"Those two really helped,"
said Walsh.
The ideal number of
donors for a blood drive is
around 40 people higher than
the donation goal. Many who
come to donate blood turn out
to be ineligible.
According to Walsh, people have to feel well and not
have a fever or feelings of
sluggishness.
Many students around this
time feel lazy and don't know
that they are ill, but rather
think it is grades and everyday pressures of academics.
Two of the factors that
may stop a person from donating are if the person weighs
less than 110 pounds or has
gotten a tattoo within the last
year.
There are systems being
put in place that can take the
donation from one person and
double the amount of red
blood cells in the sample.
This will help get more blood
out to the people who need it.
According to the Red
Cross' website, virtually all of
us will face a time of great
vulnerability in which we will
need blood, and that time is
all too often unexpected.
Recipients of donated
blood range from cancer
patients and people getting
surgery to victims of natural
disasters like Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita.
The whole process of giving blood takes 20 minutes.
The person will walk in,
register and fill out a confidential report that insures theirability to donate at that time. Then
an iron test is done by pricking
the finger of the person.

Faculty offers students help with scheduling
Erin Hippie
Guest Writer
As scary as midterms, as
stressful as finals, and as
annoying as 8 o'clock classes,
scheduling for the next semester can be a painful experience
for Lock Haven students.
Several students tend to
encounter some sort of problem while scheduling classes.
Those problems could be
that the class is not available
because it is filled, it is not
available because the prerequisite was not taken, or the class
starts at an unimaginably early
hour.
"I hate how you can have
your whole schedule planned
out and keep track ofthe classes everyday and at the last
minute, when it's time for you
to schedule, one of the classes

plaint among students is thc
fact that honors students and
athletes have a priority when
registering.
"Priority registration for
athletes is only meant to
accommodate their practice
and games schedules," said
Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs, Dr. Kwesi
E. Aggrey. "Honors students
also have certain requirements
that make it necessary for the
university to make accommodations for them regarding
their class schedules."
According to Aggrey, priority scheduling is generally
used to help students who face
difficulties in scheduling classes due to additional requirements/responsibilities on campus.
According to an academic
advisor
of
the
Communications
and
Philosophy department Dr.
Karen Kline, the best way to
plan one's schedule is to go to
the Lock Haven website a few
days prior to registering.
This gives students the
opportunity to make a list of
' desired classes that are open

and available.
When the registration time
rolls around, there will be no
hidden surprises and scheduling can be kept quick and easy.
In doing this, the student will
save time and stress will be
kept to a minimum.
Lock Haven students can
read descriptions about offered
courses by visiting the university's website.
This list gives students a
general idea about which classes he or she may be interested
in taking.
Another way to see which
classes are still available is by
going to www.lhup.edu/stulife.
then entering the student ID
number and password.
Once logged in, the studend
can retrieve the list by clicking
on the link titled Registrar's
Office (Student Access).
As hard as scheduling
classes may be, there are many
people available who are willing to help in the situation.
Each student is assigned to
an academic advisor who may
be able to guide students in the
process, as well as any trusted
professor on campus.

Harvey
But the end result was well
worth it, according to Harvey.
The time that he was
rewarded by the students and
citizens of Lock Haven is now a
precious gift that a man like
Harvey plans on making the
best of.
"I hope to work closely with
my fellow councilpersons in
making this city a place where
younger generations will want
to stay and raise their families,"
said Harvey. "I want to encourage business opportunities and
city-wide beaurification."
Harvey also said that the
believes that individuals within
the city need to have more of a
say in how their money is spent;
whether it's for road work or
police protection.
His place on the Lock Haven
City Council, while important
for the time being, will be.
Harvey hopes, a stepping stone.

The students helped with the
ins and outs of the campaign by
making brochures, visiting citizens door-to-door and working
the polls on Election Day; all of
which Harvey was very grateful
for.
"I can honestly say that
without the help of each and
every one of our volunteers this
opportunity would never have
been made possible," said
Harvey.

Department
chairs change

PUB renovations remain incomp lete

Nicole Pinto
Staff Reporter
This semester LHU departments have experienced eight
changes in department chairs.
Some department chairs
decided to take on thc position
for many terms, while others
take turns in the department.
Dr. Tamson Six. of the
Criminal Justice and Paralegal
Department, said that her
department "shares the responsibilities."
Dr. Douglas S. Campbell
who has been chair of the
Communication and Philosophy
department for 21 years has
changed roles with a professor
who has returned from sabbatical earlier this semester.
"You have to have good skin
and leadership skills," said
Campbell. "You also have to
put your ego on the back burner,
and have a great appreciation of
talents of people in the department."
Dr. Karen Kline has taken
over the position for Campbell
this term, and has been interim
chair before.
"I hope everything I do
become like second nature, and
has a steep learning curve." said
Kline.
Some administrative work
involved in being chair includes
preparing thc semester schedule
for the department, decidin
which classes arc needed, how
many are needed, which professor will be teaching what class,
and at what time the class will
be held.
Department chairs also
attend regular meetings for academic progress, and present the
proposals for new courses or
any other problems or comments that need to be addressed.

Steps to take for graduation Preventing flu not hard to do
Brandy Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
As the semester draws to a
close, a lot of students are daydreaming about their winter
breaks rather than thinking
about their Spring 2006 classes.
It is, however, important for
students to be aware of where
they are with theirclass ranking.
As freshmen, students
should concentrate on self and
career awareness.
They should use the year to
learn more about themselves
and to identify their personal
interests, values, skills, and abilities.
Freshmen should also familiarize themselves with various
majors, even if they have
already chosen a major.
Career Services advises students to discuss this with faculty
and upper-classmen, as they
start to identify careers that
might be compatible with their
personalities and majors.
Students should also become
more involved with campus
activities and clubs that will not
only help explore many interests, but will help students gain
friendships as well.
After surviving that often
tough first year, sophomores
should begin career exploration.
If they have not yet declared

a major. Career Services advises
students to do so during their
second year and develop a tentative curriculum.
Becoming aware of general
career trends and future employment needs are an important
thing to do as a sophomore,
along with volunteer services
related to their career interests.
At the beginning of their
junior year, students should
learn more about career opportunities related to their major.
They should also select
courses in other areas that will
compliment their major.
Career Services employees
said that it wasalso important to
think about options after graduation.
If students are considering
graduate school, they should
begin researching potential
schools.
Students can acquire skills
their
chosen field through an
in
internship, summer job or other
work experience.
Before
the
inevitable
senioritis kicks in, seniors
should establish contacts in their
chosen field.
Seniors should also complete thc course requirements in
their major.
If seniors are serious about
graduate school then they
should take the next step in the
process and apply to graduate

Career Services recommends that students attend job
fairs to become more familiar
with options they will soon be
deciding upon.
At this point of their academic careers, students should
be updating resumes, collecting
references and developing interview skills.
Regardless ofthe number of
credits students have earned,
they can visit Career Services.
Located in Akeley 114,
Career Services offers students
career advice, resume critiques
and mock interviewing, among
other things.
For example, if freshmen
and sophomores have not decided on a major, they can access
the computer program FOCUS,
which after answering a scries
of questions, will provide the
student with possible career
paths.
Juniors can use the resources
the office offers to search for
internships and to improve their
resumes and cover letters.
Seniors can establish credential files and review job
vacancies.
Career Services wishes the

to Harvey. While taking part

challenge, it is one that
Harvey attests can effect
"many people in a very positive way."

"Truthfully, the most

prick," said Walsh.
She went on to say that
it is like a mosquito bite,
but less annoying.

"Just

knowing
you're helping someone
will make you feel better,"
said Walsh.
From one pint of donated blood, four people can
be helped.
At the blood drive,
many were first-timers.

"These people usually
become lifers," says Walsh.
The people enjoy how
much they helped and
return in later drives to
donate again.
"With the amount of
people in this university,
we should be able to get

more" she says.
The next opportunity to
donate on campus will be
Feb. 6.
There will also be a
video on www.redcross.org
that shows the full process
of how to donate blood.

Too much caffeine could mean problems
Natalie Naylor
The Utah Statesman
(Utah State U.)

-

LOGAN, Utah Late night
parties, early morning exams.
Lets face it, college students
are busy and having a jampacked schedule doesn't make
it easy to get a good night's
rest. This hectic lifestyle may
explain why many students
use caffeine to stay on top of
things.
to
the
According
International
Food
Information
Council
on
ific.org, caffeine is a naturally
occurring substance found in
the leaves, seeds or fruit of
plants and is used for its stimulating effects. One of the
most widely used drugs in the
world, it can be found naturally in coffee and tea, added to
beverages like sodas and energy drinks or used in a purer
form like a caffeine pill.
A typical caffeine pill contains about 200mg of caffeine,
more than half of what the
IFIC suggests as moderate
caffeine consumption. These
pills are easily available and
can be purchased over the
counter in drug stores.
Caffeine pills are often used
by college students in order to
make it though long nights of
study or work. As with any
drug, it is possible to overdose and though those cases
are rare, they can be fatal.
Saralee Busson, a junior
majoring in animal science
said she took a caffeine pill
once before going out to a late
party with some friends.
"It made me feel jittery,
ornery and kind of tired,"
Busson said.
Busson said she would

never want to take another
caffeine pill because she didn't like the way it made her
feel.
Nate Bench, a senior
majoring in history, said he
will occasionally drink a coke
to help himself wake up a little because he doesn't drink
coffee. Bench said he tried a
caffeine pill and had a "buzz"
for about 4-6 hours.
"1 try to stay away from
those," Bench said. "But I
think they are used a lot more
then we think."
Amy Straley, a registered
dietician at USU's Health and
Wellness Center, said that caffeine is safe as long as it is
used in moderation. About
300 mg a day is considered by
most experts as moderate caffeine consumption. That is
equivalent to approximately 3
cups of coffee. Straley hasn't
heard of anyone at USU overdosing or coming to the
Wellness Center to get help
because of a caffeine addiction.
"Caffeine is a naturally
it is
occurring stimulant
safe to use once in a while,"
Straley said.
Straley said many students
rely on the caffeine found in
coffee and some sodas to help
them stay awake or for extra
energy.
"It does work, but you just
don't want to rely on caffeine
all of the time," Straley said.
Straley said drinking caffeine or taking caffeine pills
will not take the place of getting sleep. She said that
excessive caffeine use can
affect sleep patterns in students and even though there
isn't any conclusive evidence
that caffeine can cause health
problems, there are relation-

—

ships found between not getting enough sleep and weight
gain.
"There is a possibility of
weight gain with caffeine
use," Straley said. "Because
caffeine contributes to lack of
sleep and when people are
drinking soda trying to stay
up late, they are usually
munching on snacks."
Rebecca Earl, a senior
majoring in international
studies, has never done caffeine pills but she does really
like to have a coke now and
then.
"Coca Cola does weird
things to me, I love it but I
can't drink one before I go to
bed because it will take me
like four hours to go to sleep,"
Earl said.
The IFIC also states that
individuals vary greatly in
their sensitivity to caffeine,
some people can drink several
cups of coffee, tea or soft
drinks within an hour and
notice no effects, whereas
others may feel stimulating
effects after one serving.
Emilee Hunter, a senior
majoring in history, rarely
goes a day without a Diet
Coke. She attributes this to
her upbringing.
"Pretty much after the bottle, my parents put a straw
into a can of Tab," Hunter
said.
Now, she said caffeine
does not affect her like it does
most people.
"1 could drink a coke
before bed and still go to
sleep," Hunter said.
Hunter said she doesn't
drink Diet Coke to get a caffeine buzz, but rather, because

Hunter is also employed at
a coffee shop in Murray, Utah.
She said she sees a lot of people come in who are dependent on caffeine. She said that
many customers will get multiple shots of espresso in a
beverage several times in one
day. Espresso is a highly concentrated coffee drink that
contains about 40 mg of caffeine per shot.
"There is a regular customer that comes in about
twice a day and gets a triple or
quad every time," Hunter
said. "That is about six-eight
shots of espresso a day,"
Hunter said. Hunter said that
normally a 12-ounce drink
gets one shot of espresso and
a 16-ounce drink gets two.
Straley suggests that students who are trying to reduce
their caffeine intake should
not just quit "cold turkey"
because they will go though
caffeine withdrawals.

WWW.Weekly Web Weview
This week: Fanfiction.com & FictionPress.com
Rating: A- (for both)
Kristen Buonfiglio
Guest Columnist
According

to

dictionary.com, the words fan
fiction is defined as "a fictional account written by a fan ofa
show, movie, book, or video
game to explore themes and
ideas that will not or cannot be
explored via the originating
medium."
Fan Fiction can be written
by anyone, but, from what I
can tell, it is usually popular
among younger teenagers. A
website
FanFiction.com, along with its
partner site FictionPress.com.
provides users with ways to
publish their written works
about movies, shows, books,
games, and more for the
Internet public to view.
Fanfiction.com is a little
different
than
FictionPress.com. but they
both have the same general
idea, to publish written works
by people who want to present
them to the Internet world.
Fanfiction.com provides
users with eight categories to
publish their works in: Anime,
Book, Cartoon, Comic, Game,
Miscellaneous, Movie, and TV
show.
FictionPrcss. however, has
many different subcategories
in Fiction/Non-Fiction and
Poetry. FictionPress. works to
provide people with ways to
publish original works that are
not fan fiction, but work made
completely up by users.

2004,
Back
in
FictionPress.com was created
as
site
of
partner
a
FanFiction.com. Before 2004.
FanFiction.com.
combined
both original work and actual
fan fiction. Now they have
been broken apart into two
separate sites.
Both
Fanfiction
and
FictionPrcss, while they have
their differences, are quite
similar.
Both have adopted a fairly
new rating system for thc
works that were published
from
FictionRatings.com.
Along with the ratings, another similarity is that you need
to be a member of the sites in
order to submit a story, poem,
play, or whatever you want. It
is free to join for both sites,
however, if you want a premium membership to the site you
do have to pay for that. A premium membership for both
sites gives you some extra features, and what you submit
gets placed in an area where
everyone can see it. This way
more people are able to read
the works and submit reviews
for them.
A review of a work can be
made by anyone even if they
are not a member of the sites,
in order to submit something
you must be registered, but to
read something or submit a
review, you can do it anonymously.
Reviews usually end up
saying either the work was
good and the person can't wait

for the next chapter, or they
list their opinions as to why
the work was good or bad.
Some people like to make suggestions to the user if they
thought the work wasn't so
great.

1 love these two sites very
much. I do get good feedback
on my works that I submit to
thc two sites and it's a clean
and easy process to submit
something. The only downside for FictionPrcss that I can
think of is that the last update
to the site was in March of
2005, where as FanFiction is
updated much more frequently
Although, it seems to me
that FictionPrcss doesn't need
too much of an update.
Everything is running smoothly and there have been no
problems since the last update.
For a devoted writer like
myself. I cannot think of two
better places on the web to
submit works that I have written either for a class, or in my
spare time, especially knowing
that fan fics can never really
be published in a hard cover
book because they are based
on the actual show or thing.
I have never had a problem
with either ofthese sites, and I
would highly recommend
them to people out there who
enjoy writing fan fiction and
want to share it or have an
original piece of work to share
with others.

involve a fair amount of excavation on campus.
Recently we have completed
several projects that have greatly
helped with some of the bottlenecks and performance issues
we've seen in the past. Among
those are the implementation of
the Cisco Clean Access (CCA)
and Intrusion Detection System
(IDS). We've also moved student home directories and profiles to a dedicated server.
Formerly, student and employee
data was housed on a single
machine. Additionally, we've
restructured the way our

Among these are user profile
maintenance, which if not done
properly, will give the perception ofnetwork lag, especially at

Additionally, there were some

issues with the State System of

us from increasing our internet
bandwidth from its current level
of 15Mbit/sec. This will likely
be addressed in the future, but
nothing has been decided.

that we may rectify it.

Ed Savoy
Since this will be the last
article I'll have the opportunity
to write for this paper, I was
hoping I'd be able to go out with
a bang, writing about a movie
that would put great cinema,
such as "The Godfather," to
shame, a movie that I could
praise to the skies and beyond.
Instead. I get to write about
"Chicken Little." As the recentMartha
ly
fired-by-NBC
Stewart might say, that's not a
good thing.
For everyone who was desperately waiting for an adaptation of the story of Chicken
Little that featured space aliens
that were more than vaguely
reminiscent of this year's film
"War ofthe Worlds" and the guy
from "Scrubs" voicing Chicken
Little, this is your movie.
For the rest of planet, this is
your chance to see a version of
the story that we all grew up

with whose adaptations do nothing to further the plot or story or
do anything vaguely relevant. If
"Chicken Little" was a real bird,
it would be a dodo, doddering
and tottering to irrelevancy and
extinction.
Perhaps it is a little unfair to
expect the same company,
Disney, to put out another masterpiece, especially when they
lack their Pixar collaborator,
whose recent string of successes
have included the "Toy Stories"
movies, "Finding Nemo," and
"The lncredibles:'* it would be
like saying to Peyton Manning
"Ok, that was good throwing 49
touchdowns; now throw 60."
Still, to be saddled with
something this bad is a bit much
to fathom.
I was prepared to say that the
movie was too short to develop
any of its characters, for almost
none arc developed beyond caricatures; its plot, which exists
only in theory and is developed
in slopes and lurches; or its

ideas, which, to be fair, are good
and involve sound themes for
parents, still cannot exist well
without the development of the
preceding. However, after further consideration, perhaps its
short length is more of a blessing than a downfall.
1 loathed "Chicken Little"
just as much as 1 have loved
writing for this paper; that is, a
great deal. The next movie
review for this paper will be the
product of a different pen, or
keyboard, however you wish to
poetically phrase it.
May that next writer have
the benefit of better movies than
"Chicken Little" and better luck
in watching them.
So, dear reader, until we
meet again down the road, may
you always see good movies
and always take pleasure in the
best that that wretched, greedy,
rapacious, wonderful, dreamfilled town of Hollywood has to
offer. Goodbye and good luck.

Price Auditorium became
the location oftwo very intimate
and enjoyable acoustic sessions
by Eric Himan and Andy Moore
this past Friday.
As their fingers danced
across the strings and their voices echoed off the walls, the
audience sat in awe of the two
boisterous and incredibly
authentic performers.
Receiving her first guitar at
the age often, Moore now plays
so easily it is as if the guitar is
apart ot her body. A third arm
perhaps, which is permanently
attached for the rest ofher life.
Rooting her career in small
coffee houses while she was still
only in high school, the ease in
Moore's on-stage performance
is clearly evident. Friendly banter with the audience, as well as
with Himan, made her personality shine and her first appearance at Lock Haven seem enjoyable for both the audience and
herself.
"Sometimes I randomly
blurt out a Tii-yah' while I'm
doing something like picking up
a bag, turning the wheel ofa car
or adjusting my guitar," Moore
said after a 'hi-yah' slipped out
during a break in her performance.
Moore's set featured songs

from both of her 2001 release,
"Shifting," as well as her latest
2004 album, "Dig Right In."
Not only was her skilled guitar
playing matched by her beautiful voice, but she was not shy
about interacting with Himan
when she requested his assistance on a few songs. Their
vocal styles blended remarkably
as if they had been singing with
each other for years.
The two even mentioned the
start of a band called Mock
Derby in which the two would
share vocals and guitar arrangements, while their mutual friend
Nicole would back them on
drums. If the band will actually
hit stages and become a serious
investment is still up in the air,
but it was joked about with a
slight seriousness.
When Himan took the stage
he talked to the crowd as if he
knew everyone. Most of them
had become friends with Himan
since he had performed on campus before. Those friends and
loyal fans even helped Himan
out during "Everytime," when
he momentarily forgot the
words to the song.
"You know, it's hard to
remember the words to every
song you've ever written,"
Himan said, as he joked with the
audience about his fumble. "I

and Joni Mitchell and they have

like 5,000 songs to remember.
How do they do it?"
Himan again asked Moore to
come up on stage to sing with
him on a few of his songs. His
set featured songs from his various albums. Most recently
Himan released his live CD,
"One Night Stands: Eric Himan
Live."
Himan and Moore had even
written a song the previous
weekend before the show, while
Moore was visiting Himan at his
home in Pittsburgh. The song,
although untitled, was arranged
beautifully and the two shared
equal parts, which was perfect
considering both have equally
amazing aspects to contribute.
"Andy and I will be heading on a tour of the west cost
for most of December," said
Himan, during some downtime
in Price Auditorium. "It's cool
to have someone to be able to
bounce stuff off of on stage. 1
mean just last weekend Andy
came to see a show of mine in
Pittsburgh and we sat down
and wrote a song together."
Both Moore and Himan can
only be found on the west coast
during the weeks to come, but
when they're back in the area,
definitely check their live
shows out. Their energy and
ability to involve and capture
their audience is something to
experience first hand.

Two special education majors make tissue paper flowers at last Friday's
"Art is for ALL" event at East Campus.

University Players will run
their last production of the
semester, "Extremities," this
week until Friday, Nov. 18 at
8:00 p.m. in the Countdown
Theatre in Sloan.

this
"Extremities" deals with heavy
issues that are associated with
an attempted rape and the victim's response.
Erin McDonald, the play's
director and a junior majoring
in theater, says she picked this
piece because people need to
open their eyes to the realities
of domestic violence.
"Students are going to be
affected by it, but you're supposed to be uncomfortable
sometimes," McDonald said.
"Theater is supposed to make
you think."
In addition to raising
awareness about domestic violence. Extremities raises inter-
